According to the Cato Institute of the 16 members on its Board of Directors only 3 have given money to the Libertarian National Committee since 1997. That small sum is dwarfed by the hundreds of thousands of dollars donated to the GOP by other Cato B

Ron Paul's refrain is that he is in fact the real conservative. This is far, correction, tremendously far from the truth. Ron Paul is an extremist, and a phony conservative. People get the false idea that libertarians like Dr. Paul are the same as co

Now that republicans and conservatives have taken control of the House of Representatives, the air waves are filled with debate on how they will fulfill all their campaign promise regarding the economy. The biggest questions focus on their ability to
